NOTES
Small Document Scanning
Documents on paper or film are said to be in analogue (human
readable) format and must be converted to digital (computer readable) format
before they can be entered into an Electronic Document Management System.
Small documents, such as cheques and vouchers,
are usually all of the same size and unstapled. Some scanners with
automatic feeders will accept mixed input, but most will be unable to detect the
start and end of a batch of documents without some form of mark or header sheet.
Occasional double sided documents can present problems but, if the majority of
input is double sided, duplex scanners are available which automatically scan
both sides in one pass. Special scanners - often operating at high speeds, have
been developed especially for small input. All scanners can handle black and
white input, many can also accept greyscale and an increasing number can handle
colour. Options may include the ability to handle MICR or OCR during the
scanning process.
Document scanning generates a raster bit-map of the document. The process is
similar to fax in that a sensor scans a small section of the document and
detects the presence or absence of marks at closely spaced points, the
document or the scanning head is advanced and another line is scanned until the
task is completed. For most applications a raster of 200 points per inch is
sufficient. Compression techniques reduce the amount of data to be stored but
an A4 size 200 dpi greyscale image can require 1.2 Mb of storage. Higher
resolution scans and colour scans generate much higher storage requirements. An
exact facsimile of any scanned and stored page can be re-created for display,
transmission or printout and it can usually be re-sized or annotated but not
edited or otherwise altered. Recognition Software can interpret scanned
text as alphanumeric characters and output it as coded data. This is ideal for
input to an index or search engine as it permits searches by content, but it
does not permit a faithful reconstruction of the original. Many document
management systems therefore hold images in both forms allowing users to
conduct text searches to locate a document and then view a true facsimile,
generated from the raster data.
The scanned image may be presented to an operator on a screen which also
contains a form on which retrieval fields can be entered; this process tends to
be slow but some fields, such as the date, can be completed automatically.
Alternatively, by scanning bar-code or by using character recognition on a
specific portion of each page, some scanners automate and greatly speed the
indexing process.
